NOTE: Before testing, do the gauge control module self-diagnosis function, and make sure the B-CAN communication
line and the UART line are OK.
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
2. Remove the gauge control module (tach) and disconnect the 36P connector from it (see page 22-277).
3. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.  If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.

Rewriting the ODO Data and Transferring the Maintenance Minder Data to a
New Gauge Control Module
NOTE:
 Obtain a new gauge control module before starting the rewriting process.
 Rewriting is not possible on a gauge control module that will not communicate with the HDS.
 Make sure that the HDS shows the correct VIN for the car you are working on.
 One you have started this procedure, you must complete it before removing the HDS from the DLC.
 Connect a battery jump box (not a Battery charger) to insure that correct battery voltage will be maintained.
1. Before replacing the gauge control module, connect the HDS.
2. Select GAUGES from the BODY ELECTRICAL menu display.
3. Select ‘‘Gauge Control M odule Replacement (ODO
rewrite)’’ from the ADJUSTMENT menu, and follow
the instructions on the display to retrieve the ODO
data and the Maintenance Minder information.
4. Replace the gauge control module.
5. Follow the instructions on the display to write the new ODO data and Maintenance Minder data to a
new gauge control module. If the data transfer fails,
refer to the instructions below to release the locked
ODO data. If after you attempt to transfer mileage the odometer
has dashes ( ), garbled, or incorrect value
displayed, do the following start over. The original
gauge control module is going to be unlocked and
restored to its original state.
1. Confirm that you have the latest HDS version of software.
2. Make sure that the HDS shows the correct VIN for the car you are working on.
3. With the ignition switch to LOCK (0), reconnect the original gauge assembly.
4. Completely re-boot the HDS.
5. Clear any stored DTCs.
6. Navigation to Body. Electric/Gauges/Adjustment/Instrument Panel

7. Select ‘‘3. Releasing Locked ODO Data’’.
8. Follow the prompts and the Odometer mileage will be restored.
9. Start over and make sure the screen prompts are followed.

Description
Outside Air Temperature Indicator Logic Update to the outside air temperature
indicator while driving
Troubleshooting
22-279
Outside Air Temperature Indicator Calibration
The outside temperature sensor is located behind the
center of the front bumper. The gauge control module
(tach) uses measurements from this sensor to display
the outside air temperature.
Because of the location of the sensor, it may be affected
by heat reflection from the road, engine and radiator
heat or hot exhaust from surrounding traffic.
These conditions can heat soak the outside air
temperature sensor and cause inaccurate readings.
Logic has been written into the gauge control module
(tach) to help prevent abnormal or fluctuating outside
air temperature indicator readings.
Initial outside air temperature indication after the
ignition switch is turned to ON (II).
 If the engine coolant temperature is 60 °C (140 °F) or higher when the ignition switch is turned to ON (II),
the outside air temperature indicated the last time the
key was turned off will be displayed regardless of the
current temperature measured by the outside air
temperature sensor.
 If the engine coolant temperature is 59 °C (139 °F) or lower when the ignition switch is turned to ON (II), the
current temperature measured by the outside air
temperature sensor will be indicated. If the temperature measured by the outside air
temperature sensor is greater than the temperature on
the outside air temperature indicator, the outside air
temperature indicator will increase by 1 °C (1.8 °F) per
minute after the vehicle speed is greater than 30 km/h
(19 mph) for more than 1 minute and 30 seconds. It will
continue to increase until the current outside air
temperature is indicated. So, the first change to the
outside air temperature indicator is 1 minute and
30 seconds after the vehicle speed is greater than
30 km/h (19 mph). If the vehicle speed drops below
30 km/h (19 mph), the indicator will not update again
until the vehicle speed is increased to 30 km/h (19 mph)
or more for more than 1 minute and 30 seconds again.
If the outside air temperature is less than the indicated
temperature, the temperature will decrease 1 °C every
2 seconds (1 °F
every 1.1 seconds) until the current
outside air temperature is indicated regardless of
vehicle speed.
If the indicator displays ‘‘ ’’ for more than 2
seconds after selecting the outside air temperature
display mode, check the outside air temperature sensor
(see page 21-68), or gauge control module self-
diagnosis (see page 22-241).

Outside Air Temperature Indicator Calibration (cont’d)
B
A
C
The outside air temperature indicator’s displayed
temperature can be recalibrated 3 °C (or 5 °F) to
meet the client’s expectations. 1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Select the outside air temperature display.
3. Press and hold the SEL/RESET button until the trip meter resets, then release it. Press, and continue to
hold, the switch again, and the display will scroll
through temperature settings from 3 °C to 3 °C
(or 5 °F to 5 °F) as shown.
4. When the desired correction value appears on the display, release the button, and the recalibrated
outside air temperature will be displayed.
NOTE: To recalibration temperature is not the value
the sensor sees. Therefore the temperature can
only be adjusted degrees from the sensor. NOTE: To recalibrate the display to the true
temperature, remove the outside air temperature
sensor (A), but leave it connected. Submerge the sensor
and a thermometer (B) in a container of ice water (C).
Select the calibration mode as described above, then
recalibrate the display to the true temperature.
